Real Estate Appraiser
Our GeoWarehouse solution allows real estate appraisers to streamline comparable searches. You can easily find comparable properties by radius, sales timeframe, and price range. You can also enhance your data and workflow management with multi-property search functionality. This saves you time and resources by batching your searches together.
Resources of Particular Interest for Appraisers:
- Property Details Report for an automated valuation model (AVM), sales history, property images, and more (good to use as a starting point for your appraisal).
- Comparable Sales Report.
- Parcel Register* to flag due diligence issues that could affect the property value.
Real Estate Developers, Architects, and Engineers
When you’re looking to invest in or develop a property, the land you choose is essential. Sometimes you want to find the “diamond in the rough” or spot a great location before it even goes on the market. You also want to make sure the property you’re investing in is a safe bet — you don’t want the deal to fall through at the last minute due to undisclosed red flags.
That’s where GeoWarehouse features come in. With our solutions, you can easily gain critical insights into property ownership, address confirmation, and legal descriptions (important when acquiring sites). You can also access registered plans and aerial imagery through the GeoWarehouse Store. Finally, you can even search for potential properties online to find prospects who haven’t listed yet — but could be persuaded to do so.

- Surveys and Plans (available in the GeoWarehouse Store).
- Property Details Report (particularly for property images).
- Parcel Register* to verify homeownership and check for encumbrances.
